Notes: If Nadi Star lord, alone transit the Star of the Nadi, result will be as per name of Nadi. Results are more specific when Moon joins the Nadi along with benefic/malefic planet. Benefic Moon (6th of Shukla Paksha to 5th of Krishan Paksha) along with lord of the Nadi transit or aspect, most benefic results are assured. Find your birth star; Whenever any planet or planets transit this Nadi Star/lord, it gives result as under : Prachand ( lord) : Most dangerous. Indicate Travelling, differences, Malefics here indicate greatest harm. Benefic Planets indicate permanent achievement of high standard and unexpected gains. Pawan ( lord) : lots of travelling. Minor benefic and malefic results but very fast Dehan ( lord) : lot of mental tension in that year, avoid working. Native will be quarrelsome, hostile, angry, jealous and spoil his life to some extent Sobhaya ( lord) : Indicate happy results due to Vedha and transit of benefics. Ensure benefic results to native & all his family members. Ensure many types of happy events, never experienced in life. Neer ( lord) : Indicate uncertainty. Native has to work hard to achieve desired results, otherwise failures. Native gets many opportunities in this period. Jaal ( lord) : Indicate some benefic events, which are possible during that year only. Ensure also some benefic and malefic results which are everlasting.. Amrit ( lord) : Indicate everlasting benefic results, which the native enjoys through out his life. Vedha: When a planet occupies a nakshatra, it causes vedha (obstruction) on the contents of the squares along 3 lines. Vedhas establish relationships between Nakshatras respective points of the zodiac. Vedhas can be compared with aspects. There are different types of aspects in classical Vedic Astrology: aspects between Rasis (like Graha and Rasi Drishti) and aspects between points of the zodiac (like Sputa Drishti).

Each Nakshatra has three Vedhas; # Forward if the planet is direct: it means that we have to go in positive diagonal (i.e. clockwise) vedha direction until we reach the next Nakshatra. # Opposite for stationary planets: this is the Nakshatra we reach if we traverse the sarvatobhadra chakra horizontally or vertically. # Backward if the planet is retrograde: like forward Vedha, but in negative (i.e. counter clockwise) direction. Examples Aswini has forward vedha to Rohini, opposite Vedha to Purvaphalguni and backward Vedha to Jyestha. Swati has forward vedha to Jyeshta, opposite Vedha to Sathabish and backward Vedha to Rohini. Purvashadha has forward Vedha to Uttarabhadra, opposite Vedha to Aridra and backward Vedha to Hastha. Krittika has forward Vedha to Visakha, opposite Vedha to Sravana and backward Vedha to Bharani. Vedhas can also be applied to individual points of the zodiac. Each individual point of the zodiac has three Vedas. The vedha point is reached if we make a proportional consideration (rule of three) regarding the length of a planet. E.g. The second degree of Aswini has its opposite point in the second degree of Purvaphalguni (counted from the end): 24 Leo. Regions of the zodiac can be calculated in a simpler manner, i.e. by taking the start and end point of the region. Examples; The exaltation point of the Sun (10:00 Aries) has opposite Vedha with 16:40 Leo. The debilation point of the Sun (10:00 Libra) has opposite Vedha with 16:40 Aquarius. The moolatrikona of the Sun (0-20 Leo) has opposite Vedha with 6:40 - 26:40 Aries. The exaltation point of Jupiter (3 Cancer) has opposite Vedha with 0 Sagittarius. The debilation point of Jupiter (3 Capricorn) has opposite Vedha with 30 Taurus, etc. There are some special principles: (1) A planet in the first quarter of Krittika or the last quarter of Bharani has vedha on the vowel a which is in the northeastern corner. A similar thing applies to all the vowels in corners. (2) If an vowel has vedha, its similar vowel (e.g. a and aa, i and ee, u and uu) also has vedha from the same planet. (3) Some consonants are not covered in this chart. Planets in Ardra have vedha on g, chh and ng (nasal). Planets in Hasta have vedha on h, n (alveolar) and th (alveolar). Planets in Poorvashadha have vedha on dh (dental), ph and dh (alveolar). Planets in Uttara Bhadrapada have vedha on th (dental), jh and nch (nasal). (4) If a planet has vedha on one of the following pairs of consonants, it has vedha on the other one too: b & v; s & sh (palatal); kh & sh (alveolar); j & y; ng & tr. Using Sarvatobhadra Chakra: We should find the following in the natal chart: (1) the constellation occupied by Moon or any special tara (2) the rasi occupied by lagna or any house of interest (3) the first/prominent consonant and vowel in the natives name (4) the tithi of birth (janma tithi) or a special tithi (for muhurta) (5) the weekday of birth (janma vaara) We should study the vedha caused on these by different planets in their transit. Vedha by benefics (Moon, Mercury, Jupiter and Venus) is favorable and vedha by malefics (Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu) is unfavorable. If several transiting benefics have simultaneous vedha on several natal points listed above, then good results may be expected. Malefics, on the other hand, give bad results. In addition to considering janma nakshatra, we can consider special nakshatras related to the matter of interest. Suppose we want to find the transit results related to career. Then we can take karma nakshatra of natal chart and see the vedhas on it in transit chart. Similarly, we can take the tithi corresponding to the matter of interest. For example, we can take karma tithi (lunar day of profession) instead of janma tithi when finding transit results related to career. There are some special tithis (In Jhora, right click on longitude window and select special tithis). The regular tithes are calculated from the progression of Mo from Su and every 12 degrees marks the next tithi. There are tithis that progress 2 times, 3 times and so on until 12 times the normal progression. These are a. Janma tithi - at regular progression b. Dhana tithi at 2 times regular progression (sun to moon angle) c. Bhratri tithi or vikrama tithi at 3 times regular progression d. Matri tithi at 4 times the progression, e. Putra tithi f. Satru tithi, g. Kalatra tithi h. Mrityu tithi i. Bhagya tithi j. Karma tithi k. Laabha tithi l. Vyaya tithi at 12 times the regular progression 16. These are the vital tithes for those specific house matters. For example, karma tithi is very auspicious for karma related aspects even though the janma tithi on the specific muhurtha may not be very convincing. 17. Tithi sandhi is when a thithi is transioning from one tithi to another. Avoid the muhurtha at tithi sandhis, unless both the tithes are on ether side of the transition are good tithis. Avoid tithi sandhis at amavasya and pratipat. The % left in the software shows the time left in that tithi before it transitions to the next. Thus, amavasya could be good for some, but, if you have to do it on amavasya, make sure that Ra (lord of Amavasya) is well placed in the muhurtha chart. Amavasya is good for doing tantric pujas or for worshipping Kali etc.. 18. To calculate special tithes, calculate Mo- Su and multiply with the tithi factor and subtract 360 if greater than 360 and divide the reminder by 12 and add 1 to the result. Bhagya tithi is very important for seeing fortune, karma tithi si very important for work related matters etc 19. In general, choose the muhurtha with good tithi and the tithi lord is well placed in the chart with good nakshatra and that its a good tara for the native. Readers should refer to the first chapter for the procedure of finding tithis. Karma tithi is a little different from normal tithi. To find karma tithi, we multiply the difference between Moons longitude and Suns longitude with 10 and reduce the product to a value between 0 and 360 (by adding or subtracting multiples of 360). We divide it by 12 and add 1 to the quotient. That gives a number between 1 and 30 and that represents karma tithi. Karma tithi changes 10 times as fast as normal tithi. Similarly dhana tithi (lunar day of wealth) changes twice as fast as normal tithi. We can find a tithi for several matters. The tithi relevant to the matter of interest should be used when finding vedha of transiting planets on tithis (Nanda, Bhadra, Jaya, Rikta and Poorna).

Let us take an example. If the 10th house, karma nakshatra, karma tithi and janma vaara all have the vedha of a couple of transiting benefics, then some good developments may take place in the natives career. If they have the vedha of a couple of malefics (instead of benefics), then we can expect setbacks in the natives career. In this manner, we study the impact of transits on important tithis, janma vaara, important nakshatras and important houses in natal chart. If just one natal reference has vedha from just one planet, we cannot make any predictions. But, if 2-3 natal reference have vedha from a couple of benefic/malefic transit planets, then we can be more confident. However, a prediction should be made only if dasas and Tajaka charts also show an event. Example 8: Let us consider the death of John F. Kennedy, Jr. Janma tithi is Sukla Ashtami (8th tithi) and it belongs to the Jaya group. Janma vaara is Thursday. Jama nakshatra is Dhanishtha. Vainasika nakshatra (destruction) is in Anooradha. Naidhana nakshatra (constellation of death) is in Bharani. If all these natal reference points have vedha from a couple of natural malefics, then death is more likely on other days. Of course, one will not die whenever this happens, but this will increase the chances of death. In the transit chart, Saturn is in naidhana nakshatra Bharani. Mars is in Swati. Rahu is in Asresha. Ketu is in Sravanam. If we draw crossward lines from Ketu in Sravanam and Saturn in Bharani, we can see that they intersect in the square containing Jaya and Thursday. So janma tithi (Jaya) and janma vaara (Thursday) have vedha from Ketu and Saturn. Janma nakshatra Dhanishtha has vedha from Ketu in Sravanam and Rahu in Asresha. Vainaasika nakshatra Anooradha also comes under the vedha of Saturn in Bharani and Rahu in Asresha. The house of accidents Cp, which is the 3rd house from AL in natal chart, comes under vedha from Ketu in Sravanam and Mars in Swati. Considering that several key natal references are coming under the vedha of a couple of malefics, unfavorable results are possible. Considering the involvement of naidhana and vainaasika nakshatras, death is possible. Example 9: Let us consider Rajiv Gandhis ascension to power in India on October 31, 1984. It was covered in Error! Reference source not found.. Rasi chart of Mr. Gandhi can be found in Error! Reference source not found.. At the time of the event, Jupiter was in Poorvashadha, Venus was in Jyeshtha, Mercury was in Visakha and Moon was in Sravanam. Let us see if they have vedhas on any important natal references. Here are the vedhas: (1) Jupiter and Mercury both have vedha on Nanda and Sunday. Sunday is the weekday of birth. The tithi of power (5th) is Sukla Shashthi (Nanda group). (1) Mercury and Moon both have vedha on Dhanishtha (abhisheka nakshatra constellation of coronation). (1) Jupiter and Venus both have vedha on Sg, which is the 5th house of power in natal chart. (1) Mercury and Venus both have vedha on Libra, which contains GL in natal chart. GL is the seat of power. So janma vaara, an important tithi, an important nakshatra and two important rasis in natal chart have vedha from two benefic planets each. This is conducive to getting political power. Example 10: Let us continue with the same native. Rajiv Gandhis party lost majority in the elections of November 22, 1989. When he became Indias Prime Minister in 1984, Jupiter was in Poorvashadha. Poorvashadha is karma nakshatra (constellation of profession). At the time of Mr. Gandhis defeat in 1989, Saturn was in that constellation. Let us find vedhas by transit planets on the same natal references considered in the last example: (1) Nanda and Sunday have vedha from 3 malefics: Saturn in Poorvashadha, Rahu in Dhanishtha and Ketu in Asresha. (1) Dhanishtha is Abhisheka nakshatra (constellation of coronation). It is occupied by Rahu and Ketu has vedha on it. (1) The 5th house of power in the natal chart, Sg, has vedha from Mars and Saturn. For these reasons, transits were unfavorable from the point of view of political power. So Mr. Gandhis party lost power.
